Victor Osimhen has expressed pride in Galatasaray’s commanding performance following their 3-0 triumph against fierce rivals Fenerbahçe in a heated Istanbul derby.
The victory marked a strong response from Okan Buruk’s side after their disappointing exit from the Turkish Cup quarter-finals against Gençlerbirliği earlier in the week.
Playing at the RAMS Park on Sunday night, Osimhen opened the scoring in the 40th minute, setting the tone for a dominant display. Barış Alper Yılmaz and Lucas Torreira added further goals in the second half to seal an emphatic win.
Reacting after the match, Osimhen praised his teammates’ resilience and determination, noting that the squad was eager to make amends after their cup setback.
“We showed character and worked hard as a unit. We owed our fans a better performance after the last game, and I’m proud of how we responded,” he said.
The Nigerian striker has now netted 20 goals in all competitions this season, underlining his importance to the team’s attacking force.
With the result, Galatasaray maintain a strong position in the title race, sitting seven points clear at the top of the table with just three matches remaining. Their next challenge will be a league clash against Samsunspor as they push to secure another championship.
